When Stone Becomes History
Notre-Dame has represented more than Gothic architecture for centuries. The cathedral is a space of memory, a symbol of European intellectual history, and a structure that was perceived worldwide as a wounded cultural heritage after the fire in 2019. The focus on its reconstruction thus opens up a reflection on material, time, and preservation.

A Lecture Between Architectural Art and Cultural Memory
The evening in Bonn promises a literarily and intellectually stimulating format: Those who speak about Notre-Dame always also speak about narratives, symbols, and the language of reconstruction. The lecture combines expertise on restoration, monument protection, and building technology with the question of why historical monuments evoke such strong emotional ties.
